Planet Gentoo Announced

Posted by timothy on from the not-discovered dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Gentoo has announced the launch of Planet Gentoo, a weblog aggregator similar in style to Planet Gnome and Planet Debian. There are some interesting reads on what's going on, what might be going on in the future, and the occasional entertaining troll to liven things up. Worth a read to see what's being cooked up by one of the more innovative distributions, even if you're not a Gentoo user yourself."

    If you are a Gentoo user, chances are you know what a troll Ciaranm is. Read the forums or gentoo-dev list. Read his past entries and you'll see him trolling fellow developers.

    Hes only remotely civilized when hes begging for amazon wishlist items.

  5. What's the point of this? by nagora · · Score: 3, Interesting
    I've looked at it and as far as I can see it's just a sort of blog-list. What's the point of that? What's it do for me as a Gnetoo user?

    And that guy Ciaran McCreesh isn't a troll, he's a wanker, with his "I'll critise something I don't understand and wind up everyone who does for a laugh" routine. I'm sure we'll see Ciaran stepping up to take Dave Allen's mantel as the world's greatest comedian any day now...Christ, to be a spotty know-it-all again!

  6. No one seemed to mention the CMS by kbahey · · Score: 3, Informative

    Just so everyone knows, both sites run Drupal, an open source content management system (CMS) that is written in PHP and runs on *NIX flavors, Windows, PostrgreSQL and MySQL.
